1. Work in PowerPoint to take notes. Create a new slide for each of your subtopics. When you are done with the note-taking step, you will upload it onto your Notes wikispace page as a file. This way, your notes are backed up offline, and your teacher will easily be able to access and review your notes.
.
2. As you gather information on each of your subtopics, you will be summarizing, paraphrasing, and/or copying and pasting information from each source into the particular slide or page for that topic. Be sure to put quotes around any information directly copied from a source!
.
3. Each source that you use in the note-taking process should be added into Bibme; this will become your works cited page, which is a requirement for your final paper.
.
4. You must have information from AT LEAST TWO sources for each subtopic. This means that you should have at least two in-text citations on each slide/page. Pay attention to the You Tube video on intext citations!!! In-text citations are an essential part of any research paper, and it all begins with the note-taking process. It is much easier to keep track of your sources with in-text citations now than to try and do it later.
.
5. The LAST slide of your powerpoint slideshow should be your current works cited page. This way, teachers will be able to check your proper formatting and use of in-text citations, as well as see that you have the number and variety of sources you need for your final product.
Please note: The research process is not linear! It is natural that you will be changing and revising your essential questions as you go through this process.
